People tagged her wrong...!!!

Lost in the confusions, 

she stays awake all night. 

Weighing her responsibilities, 

she chose the one that weighs the most.

However, she is proven wrong

by her own people, her own tribe.

Their expectations had no limit,

her patience was exhausted

like the fire in the hearth. 

She pondered over her decisions, 

only to realise she was never wrong in the first place. 

People tagged her wrong because

she didn't stand up to their expectations. 

She had a family to look after too,

her priorities mattered a lot to her at least. 

She was expected to act as per their words

whereas she chose her way to deal.

Just because she dealt with things her way,

she was named selfish.

She had changed according to them

but in the mirror, she was the same.

Just that her thoughts and priorities

had upgraded a lot more than anything else. 

It seems she didn't belong to this generation 

and she wasn't independent at all. 

According to her, if independence meant

choosing someone else over her family, 

then maybe she didn't need such an independence. 

It seems she wasn't supposed to be

way too transparent with her spouse.

Apparently, she was supposed to hide stuffs

so that she could be independent, 

but she never needed such an independence.

Words pricked her heart and 

her soul tore into innumerable pieces,

yet she smiled and spoke to those

who were the culprits of the broken bonds

and the shattered thoughts. 

The darkness she loved, became unbearable

as words haunted her each night, 

tears rolled down her eyes, 

thinking that she had been pushed way too far. 

She yearned to talk to those who accepted her, 

who didn't blame her for no reason at all.

Alas! All she was left with a heap of memories

and some bitter words from her people. 

She swallowed her pride thinking they are hers after all, 

after much thought she decided to talk back.

She pounced back like a lioness, an injured lioness 

for she was way more strong than they thought. 

They shivered listening to her roar, 

after all, she was there to show them all a mirror.

Her wounds bled like crazy, yet she didn't seem to care,

at stake was her spouse and family.

her own clan had disowned her

just because she didn't choose them. 

Now it was her time to show who were really hers

from the beginning of the cold war.
